1) IMLS FUNDING INCREASE

On Friday, March 23, President Donald Trump signed into law a $1.3 trillion spending bill to fund the federal government through the end of September 2018. The legislation includes $240 million for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which is $9,000,000 above the FY 2017 enacted funding.

The legislation includes increases over FY 2017 enacted funding levels for the following programs and offices.

  • Grants to States (+$4,700,000)
  • Native American Library Services and Native Hawaiian Library Services (+$1,000,000)
  • Museums for America (+$1,750,000)
  • Native American/Native Hawaiian Museum Services (+$500,000)
  • Museum Grants for African American History and Culture (+$750,000)
  • Research, Evaluation, Data Collection (+$300,000)

“The increases in IMLS’s Fiscal Year 2018 appropriations are an acknowledgement of the enduring value of our nation’s museums and libraries,” said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. “We are honored to be able to carry out our strategic role in support of America’s museums and libraries and their transformative work for communities.”

The Washington State Library’s Library Development Program is funded through the Grants to States. Read the full press release.

2) PUBLIC LIBRARY POLICIES UPDATE

The Washington State Library is pleased to announce that the semiannual comprehensive update to the Washington State Public Library Policies webpage has been completed.

Need an example of a Collection Development or Social Media policy? This is the place to go for a list and links to over 1,800 online Public Library Policy and Procedure documents, everything from ADA compliance to Volunteers, compiled from Washington libraries.

If you have any questions, please contact Evelyn Lindberg.

—————————————————————————————————————

3) TURNING OUTWARD TO LEAD CHANGE

How can small, rural libraries transform their communities? Find out at this full day, experiential workshop, Community Engagement Training: Turning Outward to Lead Change. Participants will learn how to create community-based libraries by identifying local resources, improving communication with stakeholders and “turning outward,” using tools developed by the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation.

Join Amber Williams, from the Spokane County Library District, and Erica Freudenberger, from the Southern Adirondack Library System, to adapt and customize a roadmap to engage your community, build the capacity of your library, and incorporate the tools used by the American Library Association’s Libraries Transforming Communities initiative. Libraries are invited to send a team consisting of library staff, trustees, and/or community leaders.

By the end of the workshop, participants will confidently:

  • Use free tools, such as the Ask, Aspirations and Community Conversation, to gather public knowledge;
  • Assess public needs;
  • Use community-based decision-making to inform library services;
  • Utilize the free resources available through ALA.org/LTC.

There are three locations and dates for this important and transformative training experience, which will run from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. each day:

  • April 16, 2018: Pierce County Library Administrative Center, Tacoma;
  • April 18, 2018: Wenatchee Public Library;
  • April 19, 2018: Ritzville Public Library.

Don’t miss out! Register now.

4) LIBRARY SNAPSHOT DAY RETURNS

Join the Washington State Library and the Washington Library Association in celebrating Library Snapshot Day, April 1-15, two weeks of advocacy for our libraries, archives, and special collections across the state!

Show us a “day in the life” at your library or repository! We want to see your programs, your collections, your people (with their permission, of course), your catalogs, your shelves, your study spaces, and your meetings … ALL THE THINGS! Please encourage both your staff and your patrons to snap and upload photos to social media, and to tag them with #LibrarySnapshot. More information.

—————————————————————————————————————

5) DIVERSITY RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM

The ALA Office for Diversity, Literacy, and Outreach Services seeks proposals for its Diversity Research Grant program. Applications may address any diversity-related topic that addresses critical gaps in the knowledge of diversity, equity, and outreach issues within library and information science. Proposals are due April 15.

The Diversity Research Grant consists of a one-time $2,500 award for original research. A jury of ALA members will evaluate proposals and select up to three awards. Grant recipients will be announced ahead of the 2018 ALA Annual Conference. Researchers are invited to present interim findings at the News You Can Use Diversity Research Grant Update held each ALA Midwinter Meeting and are asked to publish findings in a publication of their choosing within one year of completing their project.

1) EVERYLIBRARY TRAINING

Before you consider asking for any new funding for your library, it is critical to understand that supporters, constituents, and donors are driven by their perceptions and attitudes, and not by their library user experience.

Announcing Communications and Marketing training for Library staff and boards. John Chrastka and Patrick Sweeney, EveryLibrary, will present a workshop that explores two frames for activating people to support library funding: the librarian as candidate and the library as cause. The training includes collaborative work during the day and follow-up homework to take back to the community.

Outcomes: Participants will learn the about the latest public perception data and discover actionable techniques to update public perceptions about both the institution and the people who work there. This half-day session is designed for staff at all levels, to provide insights on how to convene and empower stakeholders around your message and your goals.

Dates, times, and locations:

  • Monday May 7, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Burlington Public Library

Program proposals are now being accepted for the 2018 Washington Library Association Conference, October 17-20 at the Yakima Convention Center.

All proposals from academic, public, school, and special library staff and advocates will be considered, as will those from community partners. Please reach out to the dynamic presenters in your communities or share your own skills and experience by leading a session or workshop.

Details:

  • Programs may take the form of 75-minute sessions or 3- or 4-hour workshops.
  • Presenters should request approval from their employer to attend the conference before submitting proposals.
  • Proposals are due by Monday, April 16.
  • WLA Conference Program Proposal Form. To submit multiple proposals, use a new form for each.

5) DPLA’S NEW WEBSITE

The Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) is pleased to unveil its all-new redesigned website, now live at dp.la. The new site is more user-centered than ever before, with a focus on the tools, resources, and information that matter most to DPLA researchers and learners of all kinds. In a shift from the former site structure, content that primarily serves DPLA’s network of partners and others interested in deeper involvement with DPLA can now be found on DPLA Pro.

The new site combines the same core features and functionality that veteran users will recognize with new tools developed to enhance the DPLA experience for new and returning users alike. Highlights include:

DPLA’s new website represents a significant step forward in DPLA’s core work of connecting people with the riches held within America’s libraries, archives, and museums. Users now have more pathways to discover content in DPLA, better tools at their disposal, and a clearer, streamlined website to facilitate their discovery. DPLA has worked hard to ensure that the new site is fully compliant with accessibility best practices to ensure that all users can access and use the resources in our collections and on the website.
